You start your YouTube channel because you're passionate about an idea, a topic, and a way of delivering that value to others. But after a while, your YouTube journey becomes less about the passion and more about the data. It's about views, subscribers, money, and doing whatever we can to keep the stats up. If that's you, don't worry -- that happens to most creators over time. Today we want to talk about a few ideas for how to return back to the passion that got us started so we can again focus on what ultimately matters.

As your channel grows, one of the first hires you may want to make is a video editor.

While there are some similarities, most of how Google.com functions is very different from how YouTube.com functions. They have different goals and provide different opportunities for discovery. In this episode I talk through some of those differences and how we need to think about discoverability on YouTube vs. Google so we can better grow our channels, reach people, and change their lives.
